I recently received a strange letter in the mail. I haven’t actually opened it as it was not addressed to me. In fact, the address is the weird part of the letter: Mr. and Mrs. So and So 641 Huntington Ridge Blvd Somewhere in, FL 30xxx Now I live at 641 Huntington Blvd in West Dundee in Illinois. So how could this possibly have come to me??? Last time I checked, the ZIP code was the really important part of the address when deciding how to route a piece of mail at the national level.

I am a new Amazon Prime customer. What is Amazon Prime? Well, I paid $79 and for a year I get unlimited 2-day shipping. And if I want it overnight, I pay only an extra $3.99. Now, I’ve already placed 7 or 8 orders in the few weeks since I went Prime. So, say $80 divided by 8 orders is $10 per order, so far, to get 2-day shipping. That will continue to be diluted with every order I place in the next year.

I was listening to the news on the way home last night and heard some guy being interviewed about sick days and whether to take a sick day or not. The guy was some union worker and he said that the first thing he learned when he started working at a union shop was to never, ever take a sick day when actually sick. Always drag your ass in to work no matter how sick you are so that you can use your sick days for something fun, like fishing.

The Airbus A380 is the first “superjumbo” jet in the world. It has two full decks and carries 555 passengers in its nominal configuration. Other aircraft have had a second deck but no other airplane in the world has two complete decks. The A380’s top deck carries 200 passengers. In an economy-class only seating configuration, the A380 will carry almost 900 passengers. The wingspan of the A380 is almost the length of a football field.

Ahu and I saw this movie last weekend. I had heard that it was one of the best movies of the year. An interesting attraction for me was that wine played a major role in the movie. We saw it at the Marcus Cinema in Elgin. It was definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It contains two or three of the funniest scenes ever. One scene has to do with a discussion around drinking merlot wine.

I didn’t say it - this did:

Anyone know where I can get a bottle of this stuff?

Oh, man… I was looking for a song, somehow stumbled onto the Wikipedia entry for American Pie, clicked on the Stifler link, which led to the “stif-meister” link… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meister

Is “statuses” even a word??? How about “statuseseses”???? Ah, anyway, I saw this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mathowie/2031600/ and wondered why we MSN Messenger users can’t have custom statuses toooooo… whine If you have me on your IM buddy list, you know I change my handle fairly often. Just you wait and see what I do if I get my hands on custom statuses. Har har har!!!
